    It is better to be thought dumb and keep one's mouth shut, than to open it and remove all doubt......

    Is that to the wife or to the collection?
    My ex Mrs caught me ringing my fancy woman. "Thank God for that!" she said "I thought you was buying another gun."

    Mmmm...it takes balls to admit the problem, once you do, you will feel better for it and just keep collecting.....

    Yes, those Stratocasters and Telecasters along with vintage motorcycles don't help with the bank balance, but, it is total happiness. Money isn't everything, but, it helps being miserable more bearable, or, it is what the rich tell us poor to stop us rioting.

    And tell, those buggers in parliament to stop faffing around trying to thwart Brexit for over two years and get on with it......

    Best regards to all....

    While the minimum number of gund one should own is three, the correct number is n+1 , where n is the number of guns currently owned.
    This equation may also be re-written as s-1 , where s is the number of guns owned that would result in separation from your partner.... lol

    You don’t seem to be able to ‘like’ or thumbs up a post! So 👍🏻

    You should print that on a t-shirt and punt it on here, I’d buy one!
